Chapter 048: This Is a Deal

Dozens of young men of the Moqi tribe surrounded the camp tent of Moqipao under the instigation of people with a heart, and made a loud noise, shouting for Moqipao to hand over the culprit of rape and murder of Dayuehua, and the former majestic elder Moqipao shrank his head like a turtle at this moment and did not dare to show his face, and Moqishu's heart was full of the pleasure of revenge. He tried to calm the ecstasy in his heart, and held out a helpless bitter gourd face.

Mo Qi Pa seems to be in the catastrophe, his most favored grandson did the most shameless deeds of the clan, from then on his prestige in the clan will plummet, he can no longer manipulate himself, in front of himself to point fingers, talk nonsense, the mountain that has been pressing on his head for six years is about to collapse, from now on he can straighten his waist and be a dignified leader, this is the time to sing about wine, this is the time to climb the peak of life, how can this not make him ecstatic.

Mo Qishu couldn't help laughing, laughing in his heart, his face was still a helpless bitter gourd face.

Or in response to that sentence - happiness and sorrow, just when Mazatsu thought that the overall situation was decided, and his political opponent was powerless to turn over, things changed dramatically. First, there was a heart-rending howl from the camp tent of Mo Qipa, and then the angry Mo Qipai's only son, Mo Qiming, and his tearful grandson Mo Qichu, held four machetes in both hands and viciously slaughtered out of the camp tent, the two of them were full of tears, their eyes were as red as fire, and they saw Li Mao raise his knife and cut it.

It has been six generations since the Moqi people moved to the Central Plains, but there are still remnants of the brutality of the steppe nomads, coupled with the connivance of the local government for many years, if they disagree, they will cut with a knife, which is almost a custom, which is a normal thing in the eyes of the Han people, including the local government to catch fast.

Feng Bu shouted, and the four agile catchers parted ways, stumbling and tripping the two of them, and the four catchers pressed over, pressed their arms to the back of their hearts, and subdued the two on the spot.

Mo Qiming cried out in tears: "The Han people forced my father to death, and I am inseparable from him." Mo Qichu howled at the top of his voice: "The Han people killed my grandfather, the Han people killed people!" Li Mao frowned, Feng Bu's eyes were quick, and he stepped on Mo Qichu's mouth with his foot. Mo Qi has a very high prestige in the clan, and when he learned that his favorite grandson Mo Qi had raped and killed Da Yuehua, the clansmen hated and regretted it, but they still didn't believe it in their hearts.

Li Mao's fanfare broke into the camp to arrest people, which made them even more resentful. It's just that the leader of the Mo Qi Shu has an ambiguous attitude, and Mo Qi Pa does not dare to show up to refute in the face of the Han people's questioning, and there is something strange about it, so everyone can not bear it, and suddenly heard that Mo Qi Pao was forced to death by the Han people, and saw that the Han people quickly trampled the descendants of Mo Qi in the yellow dust, and tried their best to humiliate, and the anger suppressed in the hearts of the Mo people suddenly erupted like a volcano.

There is a young warrior with miraculous powers, holding a wax white pole to grab out of the crowd, and smashing the stick at Li Mao's eyebrows. Mo Qi Shu bluffed, shouted to block, Mo Qi magic stick to the halfway hurriedly retreated, the center of gravity was unstable for a while, the body only shook, Qingmo took the opportunity to move forward, knocked it to the ground, the two were entangled and scuffled.

At this time, someone had already carried the body of Mo Qiba out of the felt tent, and the old man wiped his neck with a knife, and the blood soaked his chest red, and his condition was very tragic. The Moqi people regard the old man as the embodiment of wisdom, and they are highly respected, and the Moqi is the object of worship of the clansmen, and now witnessing his tragic death, many people can't accept it and cry bitterly, and the wailing is earth-shattering.

Hearing that there was a change in the camp, Sang Rong, who was waiting outside the camp, waved his hand, and a hundred soldiers broke into the camp with bows and crossbows to respond. The scene was extremely chaotic for a while, and some people loyal to Mo Ke took advantage of the situation and shouted: "The Han people want to slaughter the camp!" ”

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Feng Bu advised Li Mao: "Things have changed, let's withdraw and talk." Li Mao thought it was reasonable, grabbed the wrist of the Mo Qi technique, pulled him as a talisman, and slowly withdrew from the camp of the Mo people without disorder.

At the gate of the camp, Mo Qishu begged Li Maodao: "I'm afraid that the villain will make trouble, please let Shangguan go back to maintain, and I will give Shangguan an explanation." Li Mao said with a smile: "There must be a villain who is making trouble from this, and the leader will go back to the camp with me to discuss." "Pulling the Moqi technique and refusing to let go. Over there, Sang Rong had already assigned people to block the camp of the Moqi people, but when he saw someone coming out, he sent an arrow immediately, and the arrow shot extremely accurately, only three or four inches from the tip of his toe. The Moqi people knew that they were powerful, and they didn't dare to make a mistake, so they closed the camp gate for a while, picked up swords and guns, and confronted the officials and soldiers across the door.

Although he was embarrassed during the retreat, Feng Bu did not forget to take Mo Ming's father and son with him, and when he was attacked on the way, Mo Qiming took advantage of the chaos to escape. The two of them went all the way out of the camp, and found a nearby open space to continue the battle, and a group of Qing naval guards surrounded them and cheered and coaxed.

Li Mao took Mo Qi Shu to a nearby tea shed and talked to him alone: "Mo Qi's father and son are suspected of abusing and killing Da Yuehua, and the government must investigate it, and now that their father and son have made this scene, how do you think it should end?" Mo Qi said: "The government investigates the culprit, our ministry should have cooperated, and it should not have forced people to death." Li Mao said: "The leader thinks that we forced Elder Mo Qi to death? Moshu was silent.

Li Mao smiled, pointed to the garrison outside the door and said: "Instigating the beggar gang to besiege the county government is tantamount to rebellion, and openly resisting law enforcement is also a rebellion. Now the culprit is committing suicide in fear of crime, and some people are trying to muddy the water in order to get by, which is completely wishful thinking! ”

Just as he said this, Qingmo strode in, he had just finished the gut battle with the young Mo Qi Divine Power, and at the critical moment, Qing Mo broke the bridge of the nose of the Mo Qi Divine Power with the short inch tiger fist taught by Li Mao, thus winning.

At this moment, his face was bruised and swollen, and there were several blood marks on his neck and chin, which looked like a bit of bravery of a veteran of a hundred battles.

Qingmo entered the door and sat down at the table with a big grin, picked up the tea bowl and drank two sips, wiped his mouth, and shouted: "The army outside the city has entered the city, and General Yin asked if he wanted to bring the horse army in to charge the camp." ”

Li Mao shouted: "Confused, the camp is full of my subjects of the Tang Dynasty, how can you kill indiscriminately if you are not guilty?" Please bring more bows and crossbows into the city, and the horses will not be needed. Qingmo smashed his chest and retreated. Li Mao turned to face Mo Qishu, and his face sank again: "The beggar gang is making trouble in the city, Yunzhou is very angry, the court is afraid that Ziqing is too strong, and is thinking about splitting Ziqing, but he can't find an excuse, this is the time to do such a thing, hum, those who secretly stir up trouble are really blind." ”

Mo Qishu watched coldly, knowing that Li Mao was bluffing, but he was also happy to cooperate. Just now, when Qingmo and Li Mao were lame acting, a new idea sprouted in his mind.

Mo Qi muddied the waters, not only to exonerate his grandson, but also to protect his family's reputation and protect his descendants in the clan in the future. As a leader, if he is too weak in his relationship with the Han people, he will lose his prestige, not only will he not be able to straighten his waist, but even his position as a leader may not be guaranteed. Therefore, he once wanted to use the death of Mo Qi to incite the tribe to make trouble with him, fish in troubled waters, win in chaos, and use this chaos to create a tough image of himself in front of the clan, so as to consolidate his position in the clan.

But now his thoughts have quietly changed, Li Mao is young, tough, and full of sharpness, and he will fight with him with a knife and a gun, and the outcome is really unpredictable. In addition, even if he can support Li Mao, he may not be able to get actual benefits, if the father and son of Mo Ming escaped through chaos, they will still be their strong enemies in the future. The shadow of Mok's drift always lingers.

As a result, he changed his mind and was determined to cooperate with Li Mao to completely eliminate the influence of Mo Qipai and bring Mo Qiming's father and son into a situation from which they could never recover.

"The Moqi people have been favored by the court for generations, how dare they do that illegal and undisciplined deed, if the Shangguan believes in the Moqi technique, he is willing to return to the camp to expose the treacherous plans of the famous father and son, and teach the clansmen to always be obedient to the court."

Li Mao said: "Some people in your department have deep prejudices against the government, and they want to make a big deal about it, and at this moment, the leaders return to the camp, convinced that they can be persuaded to cooperate with the imperial court?" ”

Mo Qi Shu said: "Our department moved from the interior to the Central Plains, to rely on the imperial court to care for in order to multiply, the old people in the clan are not ancient, into the Central Plains VI refused to convert, did not obey the official decrees, indecent court leniency, blindly demanding, blindly tyrannical, so that my tribe people everywhere discriminated against, displaced, nowhere to live. Now I am willing to get rid of the ills in the clan, abandon the old and stubborn people, convert to China, and always be the obedient people of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Maoxi said: "Sure enough, a certain is willing to help the leader." ”

Knowing that Li Mao had let go of the Mo Qi technique, Feng Bu hurriedly came to see him and said: "The main culprit of the Mo people who took advantage of the death of the Mo Qi Sect, without a leader, it is a plate of loose sand, and it is difficult to achieve it. ”

Li Mao said: "If you dare to make trouble, I will not be soft, and I will bear it alone if there is a mess." Feng Bu was speechless, and Li Mao also felt that his words were a little blunt, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Mo Qishu is a smart person and an ambitious person, let the clansmen continue to make trouble like this, he, the leader, is only afraid that he will not be protected." Now if he wants to keep his position as leader, he can only cooperate with us. The most important thing at the moment is to quickly let Mo Qi confess, as long as his guilt is confirmed, the Mo people will lose the reason to make a rebellion. We should then cooperate with the outside of the Mo Qi technique, and the overall situation can be determined. ”

Feng Budao: "Feng is not talented, he is willing to try." ”

Li Maoxi said: "Brother Feng will definitely succeed immediately." ”

Feng Bu has rich experience in interrogation, and Li Mao believes that he can open Mo Qichu's mouth, as long as he is convicted of raping and killing Da Yuehua, and uses his strength to help Mo Qi Shu eliminate the diehards within the Mo Qi Clan, the Mo Qi Clan will not be able to mess up if they want to.

Taking advantage of Feng Bu's interrogation of Mo Qichu, Li Mao returned to the county government and reported the trip to Xue Rong in detail.

Xue Rong's heart suddenly hung up, and he asked Li Mao nervously: "Can this person be relied on?" ”

Li Mao said: "Although he is the leader, but he has been suppressed by the old and stubborn old people such as Mo Qipai, and he is very distressed in his heart, this time Mo Qi is making trouble with death, and he is in a dilemma, if he suppresses the clansmen, he will be labeled as a coward, and he will not be able to raise his head in front of the clansmen in the future, and even the position of the leader will not be guaranteed." If he goes with the crowd and makes trouble, he will still be a puppet of the father and son. I have now given him two promises, that if he is willing to cooperate, I will help him to eliminate his political enemies, and then give him the land west of the city, so that he may establish himself in the presence of his people and become a veritable chief. Where to go, I think he'll figure it out. ”

Xue Rong still couldn't rest assured, and said: "What did General Yin say over there, it's not a trivial matter to take the Mo people under the knife, is he willing?" At one time, he asked: "The Moqi people are really in turmoil, can they live with only these soldiers and horses in the city?" ”

Li Mao persuaded: "Brother, but he is in the yazhong, and there is me outside." ”

When Yin Mu heard about Li Mao's entry into the camp, he muttered: "I don't see it, this kid still has some guts, I really underestimated him before." Then he said to the left and right: "The arrow wound on my back has attacked, and I must rest for a few days, and the affairs in the army are represented by General Sang, and there is no need to report to me if it is not a major matter." "The order was given, and someone was sent to give the talisman to Sang Rong.
